For ages, books, magazines and newspapers, were revered for the enormous amount of information they contained. I can remember looking things up in the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was young. One summer I set the goal of reading everything that was in the encyclopedia. I'm pretty sure I never got through the second volume. In 2012, the company announced that the 2010 edition would be the last printed version. However, they were being replaced by their electronic "copies". Reference books of all types are feeling the pinch caused by technology and the internet, from atlases to dictionaries to thesauruses.
I have a subscription to Time Magazine and it seems like a shell of its former self. There are just 68 pages in a recent addition and a large number of them are full page ads. The same thing seems to be going on with The Readers Digest that I receive every month. There are now a lot more ads than I remember with less content.
My wife is an avid reader and she has a kindle. That way she doesn't have to lug around one or two large books. Her Kindle has well over a thousand books on it at this point. Every day I download free books for her off the internet. If she doesn't like a book, she just deletes it. No muss, no fuss,and we haven't wasted any money on it plus we save gas by her not having to drive to the library.
The newspaper industry has always had its ups and downs and the industry has survived previous slumps. I remember that television's arrival in the early 1950s was supposed to predict the decline of newspapers' prominence as most people's source of daily news, I think sudden increase of the internet in the 1990s and the increased number of media choices available to the average reader has made this much worse. I feel the Internet has also gone further than television in eating away at the income of newspapers with Craig's list, e-bay and other online sites that are available to sell your goods. I think the increasing use of internet search, primarily through large engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo, has changed the habits of newspaper readers.
Buffalo News owner Warren Buffett wrote, "Simply put, if cable and satellite broadcasting, as well as the internet had come along first,newspapers as we know them probably would never have existed." Since the beginning of 2009, the United States has seen a number of major metropolitan dailies shuttered or drastically pruned. Even the news magazine "Newsweek", has ceased being published as a print magazine.
Since the end of January 2016, I have managed to get my writing published a number of times. I have gotten published in an online newspapers as the food columnist under the banner "Lovin Spoonful". In that time, I have also seen one online publication and two of the print publications that I was writing for close. The Lockport Star has announced it closed in July 2016 and The Tonawanda Sun also announced it was closing in July. It appears that the Community Papers of Western New York has decided to discontinue publishing all of their small town papers. Readership of print newspapers has fallen by a staggering 25% in just the last four years.
I am now being published in 3 print newspapers and four online ones. I have a portfolio of my articles cut out of the newspapers and they seem much more real than the ones I print from my computer. If I wanted, I could put together on my computer, something that said I was published in the New York Times and I'm sure that anyone with basic word processor skills could do the same thing.
Maybe I am just old fashioned and behind the times, but the feel of a newspaper in my hands just seems right. I prefer having ink stained fingers to carpel tunnel. Sure, the newspaper might not be up to the minute but it sure beats those news bytes that you see scrolling across the bottom of your television screen. What does the statement "17 dead in Brazil" tell you? Was it a terrorist attack, a bus overturning or a meal of bad Shushi? There is no how,when or why and just leaves you not knowing what the heck is going on. I'm sure at least 17 people die in Brazil almost every day. Just knowing how many people died without giving us many more facts is useless.

The 65cm Styria is our best selling scythe blade. It's the ideal blade to replace a strimmer.
A tougher blade that is suitable for mowing rougher grass, weeds, bracken and bramble and over rough ground where there may be stones etc that would damage a finer blade.
When peened it will also neatly cut finer grasses and soft weeds – a multi-purpose blade.
A "Ready to Mow" option is offered on this blade, although it is not necessary if the blade is only intended for use on rough weeds such as brambles and bracken.
Choice of length depends on the size of area you want to mow and the number of obstacles to mow around. A longer blade gives you more "bite forward" and allows you to mow more with each stroke.The 55cm blade is better in more confined areas. It exerts less leverage on the snath, so causing less stress on the snath when mowing tougher vegetation.

Beautiful raw honey is the only sweetener Johanna Budwig recommended. It is used for sweetening muesli and drinks. The only honey to use on the diet should be traditionally produced and cold-extracted so that all the enzymes in it are still live. Most supermarket honey is extracted at higher temperatures and pasteurized so the goodness has been destroyed and it is little better than syrup.
Raw honey has a long and worldwide reputation for its almost magical properties. For years this has been dismissed as an old wives' tales but modern science keeps uncovering reasons for its benefits.
Don't worry about "organic" when it comes to honey; most of the best honey producers do it as a hobby on a very small scale so they don't usually register organic but they do try to keep their bees away from chemicals because it isn't good for the bees!
Runny honey and thick honey are both OK. If your runny honey has crystallised and you want to make it runny again simply put it in a saucepan of warm – not hot – water until it clears.
Locally produced natural raw honey is available online from the Flax Farm shop on this website.

While the concept that successful cash-flow management is directly related to business success is not new—and one you as advisors I'm sure are very familiar with—as insolvency practitioners, experience has shown us that inadequate cash flow or working capital is one of the biggest reasons businesses fail; and statistics support this.
50.1% of reports in the retail trade sector.
Cash flow, defined as the total amount of money being transferred into and out of a business, is closely related to the concept of liquidity: the degree to which an asset or security can be quickly bought or sold in the market without affecting the asset's price. The more liquid assets a company has, the better its ability to generate cash flow and to ensure it continues to trade solvently. Further, a liquidator considers a cash flow test to determine whether a company has traded insolvently.
Working capital deficiencies are common. There isn't enough money to begin with.
Many clients don't understand that revenue is not profit.
Many businesses unnecessarily deplete working capital on non-essential items or assets that could be financed.
Excess levels of stock or obsolete stock exist in most businesses. As does excess or inefficient management and/or staff.
A failure to understand that different business types have different cash flow requirements. For example, developers, seasonal growers, and retailers have unique cash-flow ebbs and flows that must be managed.
To ensure effective cash-flow management, clients must understand their specific business's cash-flow requirements and then plan and act to correct any deficiencies.
How can an advisor assist their client to improve cash flow, including monitoring, budgeting, and forecasting?
Should an advisor change their mindset when discussing these issues with their clients? For example, it changes from just giving historical reporting or compliance based advice to financial planning and business advisory advice/information.
What alternatives are available to clients who want to be proactive and seek assistance?
Does the client properly appreciate their business and its risks and exposures to adequately budget and forecast their cash-flow requirements?
Which assets are readily convertible to cash and which assets will take time to sell?
Are there debt collection policies in place? Does the client conduct credit checks on its customers? Would implementing these procedures reduce the default rate?
What would be the effect on a client's cash flow if a discount for prompt payment was offered. For example, a 5 percent discount if paid in 7 days. Would this also reduce the default rate?
Does the client plan for the effect that trade terms and write offs could have on their business?
Does the business have its pricing strategy right?
Does the client have balance sheet items that should be written off? Excess or obsolete stock levels, excess raw materials, superfluous plant and equipment or motor vehicles?
Does the client's purchasing policy need to be changed?
Is sufficient working capital available to cover unexpected contingencies?
These questions, if considered well in advance, can minimise exposure to an insolvency event. If not, we examine these factors as administrators if we are attempting to save a business.
If you'd like to discuss managing and improving a client's cash flow or alternative funding options, your local Worrells partner is happy to help.

Q: Hard delete custom field in Salesforce I am having problem in deleting custom fields permanently.
Like for e.g.
I have created a custom field in Contact entity with name "Newsletter" which Salesforce internaly stores as "Newsletter__c" as custom field.
Then I use the below code to delete custom field of contact.
var cstField = new CustomField
{
  type = FieldType.Checkbox,
  fullName = "Contact.Newsletter__c"
};

// Delete the object
var r = metaService.delete(new Metadata[] { cstField })[0];

The above code deletes the custom field, but keeps it under "DeletedFields" category where you can again "Erase" or "Undelete" the custom field. These custom fields are deleted automatically after 15 days.
I want to delete the custom fields from these category also as if I again create cf with same name SF gives error like "Already exists".
I tried purgeOnDelete option too while deploying but no luck so far.

A: purgeOnDelete. If true, the deleted components in the destructiveChanges.xml manifest file aren't stored in the Recycle Bin. Instead, they become immediately eligible for deletion. This field is available in API version 22.0 and later. This option only works in Developer Edition or sandbox organizations; it doesn't work in production organizations.
Extending Salesforce Migration Tool to Support PurgeOnDelete.. For some reason this excellent feature has still not been exposed by the Salesforce Migration Tools via the sf:deploy Ant Task. However with a bit of Java skills you can create a new deploy Ant Task by extending the current one, to expose the attribute to your Ant build scripts, for example...

Prebuilt ant-salesforce.jar with deploypurge in it. You can download a modified ant-salesforce.jar here from the FinancialForce.com Developers Github repo (be warned this is API v22.0, though you can use it to deploy code at any version).
Building your own extended ant-salesforce.jar. If you want rebuild a new version, then you need to download this Java class, compile it, unzip the ant-salesforce.jar (rename .jar to .zip), put it in and zip it back up again and your all set!

SIKH MOTORCYCLE CLUB: FIRST PLACE
For the first time, on the special invitation by the parade managing committee, the 40 members of the Sikh Motorcycle Club along with their impressive motorbikes took part in the 56th Loggers Day Parade in Squamish under the leadership of club president Jagdeep Singh Dhaliwal and founder of club Avtar Singh Dhillon. By taking part in the parade, the club was further able to promote Sikhism and educate the rest of the community on what it means to be a Sikh and the meaning and importance of turban in Sikh religion and culture. What is more, the judges awarded the club the first prize based on their overall appearance, attractiveness and discipline. The Loggers Day Festival organizers have already asked the club to participate in next year's event and hopefully with as much fanfare and enthusiasm as this year.
PRINCESS MARGARET SECONDARY: NASA-BOEING COMPETITION
This was the third consecutive year that students from Surrey's Princess Margaret Secondary School had qualified for the International Space Settlement Design Competition at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, from August 2-6, but this time they won the prestigious competition sponsored by NASA and Boeing and became the first Canadian team to ever win this competition.
The team comprised of Alice Ho (President), Ishmeet Singh, Zoubhair Moosuddee, Harinder Khak, Gurleen Brar, Mariyam Ali, Ramansh Chabra, Aaaqil Hassan, Taran Gill and Hassaan Sheikh, with Sumit Rathore of Simon Fraser University as the team mentor and Joe Sihota as the teacher sponsor.
This year, Princess Margaret secondary partnered with schools from Florida, Wales and India – under the company name Grumbo Aerospace – to take first place in this grueling competition – the first time in the competition's 20-year history and in Canadian history.
The 20 schools that qualified for the international finals were formed into four "companies" whose task this year was to design a settlement on Earth's moon where over 10,000 people were to make their homes.

SURREY'S JUJHAR KHAIRA: EDMONTON OILERS
Jujhar Khaira, a power forward selected 63rd overall by Edmonton at the 2012 NHL Draft, signed his three-year entry-level contract with the team after spending the past season competing as a freshman with the Michigan Tech Huskies in the NCAA's Western Collegiate Athletic Association, according to a report on the Edmonton Oilers website.
The report said: "Rather than returning to the Huskies as a sophomore this coming season, Khaira accepted the ELC offer from the Oilers and is looking to make his pro hockey debut in 2013-14. He could also potentially play in the Western Hockey League for the Everett Silvertips, who hold his major junior rights."
The 6'3″, 189-pound winger had a solid first season, ranking third on the Huskies in scoring with 25 points in 37 games. Khaira played for the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League in 2011-12, tallying 79 points in 54 games.
Jujhar's dad is a gravel truckowner-operator and his mom is a speech language pathologist with the Surrey School Board.
LANGLEY'S SHARK CLUB: RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal found Langley's Shark Club had racially discriminated against three South Asians – Serge Rai, 43, and Manjinder Gill and his wife, Manjit, who are in their forties – and ordered the club to shell out $10,000 to each of the three "for injury to dignity and self-respect" for refusing them entry on December 9, 2011, for a graduation party.
In the 56-page ruling, tribunal member Norman Trerise, noted in the section "Conclusions Respecting Credibility": "In all of the circumstances, I find that I am unable to rely on the evidence of any of the witnesses who provided evidence on behalf of the Shark Club. Their evidence was self-serving, internally contradictory and contradictory as between themselves."
Trerise noted: "Up to 20 percent of the patrons of the Shark Club are Indo-Canadian.
"I note, however, that the fact that some of the Respondents' employees are visible minorities and Indo-Canadians have been allowed entry into the bar the evening of December 9, 2011 does not mean that discrimination against the Complainants did not occur."
Trerise also pointed out: "No viable explanation has been provided by [doorman] Mr. [Andrew] Schmah as to why he denied entrance to the Rai Group on December 9, 2011. I am alive to the Complainants' submissions that racial discrimination is seldom overt. Nevertheless, there must be some reasonable basis for determining that racial discrimination has taken place and the complainant bears the onus of proof to establish discrimination on a balance of probabilities. Such a decision should never lightly be made when one considers the seriousness of the allegation."
SUKHBIR SINGH BADAL CANCELS CANADA TRIP
The Times of India reported that Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal had cancelled his planned 10-day visit to Canada after the Canadian government said that they will not offer any immunity to him against any civil suit that may be filed against him there. They have also allegedly refused to provide him security during the trip, the newspaper reported.
Sukhbir was scheduled to tour Canada from September 13 to 22.
The newspaper said that a confidential note sent on August 6 by the ministry of external affairs to the Punjab government had warned Sukhbir to not go ahead with his scheduled visit.
The newspaper said: "The note was sent to Punjab chief secretary Rakesh Singh and additional director general of police of law and security Dinkar Gupta and also said that the Canadian government has refused to provide security to Sukhbir.
""The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will provide security cover to a visiting dignitary only if he or she is an international protectee and is so recognized by the government of Canada…It is therefore likely that security may not be afforded to our visitors," the note said citing the Canadian government's reply."

Sunny Dhinsa of Vancouver won a bronze medal as the 2013 FILA Junior World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Sunday, becoming the only male wrestler to bag a medal for Canada.
Dhinsa belongs to the Guru Gobind Singh Wrestling Club and club members gave him a warm welcome at Vancouver International Airport when he returned home this week.
Dhinsa, wrestling in the 120 kg weight category, opened the day with a clear 4-0 victory over Ukrainian wrestler Andriy Vlasov. In his second match, facing the eventual world champion in the category, Dhinsa lost the tough battle 8-0 by technical superiority. But thanks to the repechage system (a practice amongst ladder competitions – those with a series of rounds of competition – that allows participants who failed to meet qualifying standards by a small margin to continue to the next round), Dhinsa was given a second chance and re-entered the tournament. He defeated Slim Trabelsi of Tunisia, winning the two-period match 7-0. With this, Dhinsa earned himself a spot to wrestle for bronze. He defeated the tough Russian competitor Georgii Gagaev. Taking a 4-1 lead at the half, Dhinsa came back with power and managed to pin the Russian wrestler, ending the match.

Fort Richardson State Park, Historic Site & Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway
Horse Sites
Campsite Closure Alert
Fort site structures include seven of the original buildings which have been restored: the post hospital; the officer's quarters (commanding officer); a powder magazine; a morgue; a commissary; a guard house; and a bakery, which baked 600 loaves per day. There are also two replicas: officers' and enlisted men's barracks. The officers' barrack houses the Interpretive Center.
Activities include historical study, picnicking, camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, nature study, wading in the creek (seasonal), swimming (accessible via Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway or by road), and fishing. For anglers, Quarry Lake is stocked with catfish, bass and trout periodically during the year. We loan fishing equipment for use in the park. If you plan to swim at the park, read through our swimming safety tips before you come.
Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway: The Lost Creek Trailway was funded through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, with Texas Parks and Wildlife, the city of Jacksboro and Jack County as partners, sharing in the matching funds for this grant program. It was authorized for construction in 1994. The cost for the trail was $442,000. The grand opening ceremony was held on National Trails Day, June 6, 1998.
Located at Fort Richardson and Jacksboro, this 9-mile hike, bike and equestrian trail runs adjacent to Fort Richardson and along Lost Creek, which is the main watershed for the two city lakes. The trail follows scenic Lost Creek and travels the east side of Lake Jacksboro and Lost Creek Reservoir. The trail crosses the dam at Lost Creek Reservoir and winds along the west side until it reaches the trailhead. This is a linear trail system that winds with the terrain and abounds in scenic beauty. It travels through the park with many shaded areas of pecan and oak trees. Most of the trail travels by the creek or lakes which provide numerous opportunities to fish and swim. This is a beautiful trail, abundant also in wildlife and wildflowers. There is a trailhead at Fort Richardson State Park & Historic Site and a trailhead on Lost Creek Reservoir.
This trail is 10 feet wide and has an improved surface of base material with a topping of approximately 4 inches of screening materials. This surface creates a smooth trail for many uses.
Use the Interactive Trails Map for a virtual tour of the Trailway and park trails.
A ranger-guided walking tour of the Historic Site is offered Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The tour takes about two hours and is approximately one mile in length. The terrain is mostly level but exposed to the elements, and the historic buildings are not climate controlled. Be prepared to stay outside for about two hours. The morning tours are highly encouraged in the summer months due to the cooler morning temperatures. The historic buildings are open for self-guided tours only on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and park interpretive staff are on site to answer questions. All tours are free of charge. Special events held throughout the year include military reenactments, a barbecue cook-off, a trout fishing tournament, and living history presentations. Check the calendar for upcoming events and programs.

Complications from prostate biopsies are common but usually not severe, a study in Urology reveals. Participants in the study had biopsies to look for cancer after an abnormal rectal exam or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. In a biopsy, a fine needle punches quickly through the rectal wall to remove a tiny sample of prostate tissue for examination under a microscope. Doctors took 12, 18, or 24 samples per participant. Typical problems from biopsy include pain, soreness, and infections. A more serious complication, which may lead to hospital admission, is acute urinary retention, in which a man is temporarily unable to drain his bladder.
40% of the men experienced a complication.
The complication rate was as high as 57% in men with 24-sample biopsies.
Only 1.2% of the men required hospital admission.
9.1% ended up visiting an emergency room.
6.7% developed acute urinary retention.
Prostate needle biopsy is the only way to diagnose prostate cancer, regardless of PSA test results. The complication rate would vary with the general health of the men involved.

Could You Use a Two-Screen Laptop?
By Hannah Clark Steiman
Earlier today, I got a glimpse of Lenovo's new laptop, the ThinkPad w700 DS, which has a second screen that pulls out of the main screen. It's a behemoth--large enough to look like a desktop at first glance. But it is, indeed, a notebook and Lenovo is hoping it will appeal to engineers, architects, multimedia designers, and accountants--anyone who needs a lot of computing power and a lot of screen space, and also spends a lot of time on the road. Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think. Does this seem like something you could use?

The Quality Series
Gella Electrolex Services Limited
Tarkwa, Ghana's best Electrical Engineering and IT Service and Sales Provider
© 2016 Jave Z. / David V.
Ghana, a West African country of about 25.9 million inhabitants on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, was, for years under the contested colonial rule of various European powers, referred to internationally as "the Gold Coast." And while its coastal capital, Accra, is the country's largest city and center of international commerce, the gold that has made Ghana such a desired piece of real estate around the world comes from the inland portion of the country.
Tarkwa, located in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly of Ghana, is the center of the Ghanaian gold mining and manganese mining industries, both major contributors to the country's economic vitality and growth, even today. The town is the home of the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), the biggest mining training and research institution in Ghana. The mines and goldfields at Tarkwa produce 24 tons of gold per year. Here, new deposits are found, dug for, and exploited in the immediate vicinity of the town, a process that requires massive mobilization of man, machine, and industrial power.
When beginning mining operations, or any major industrial project in a new place, one of the most essential and most difficult things to do is to supply the massive amounts of electricity that the new facility will require. Luckily, operating in Tarkwa and beyond is Gella Electrolex Services Limited, an expert electrical engineering firm specializing in mobilizing power to large, industrial operations.
Electrical Engineering and IT with Quality Management and Community Engagement
Founded in 1997, Gella Electrolex Services Limited has emerged as among the best in its sector in all of Ghana. Whether it be supplying power to remote work and mining sites, upgrading power distribution, the sales and supply of electrical materials and equipment, or electrical engineering consulting, Gella Electrolex gets the job done, and with the highest marks in customer satisfaction. Its clients include the goldfields of Tarkwa, Newmont Ghana Gold, Anglogold Ashanti, the Minerals Commission, Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly, S.I.C Tarkwa, Billiton Bogoso Gold in Tarkwa, Shell Ghana LTD, and many more of the major players involved in mining and related industries.
Already a leader in the market in Tarkwa and the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Assembly, Gella Electrolex is expanding to regions beyond its home turf, increasingly being tapped to perform jobs in areas all around the country, with projects completed in the Western, Central, Greater-Accra, and Brong Ahafo regions. It has also leveraged its distribution platforms and connections in the industry to expand into the IT sector, as, just as industrial worksites have always needed electricity, they are increasingly reliant on internet connections as well.
Alexander Bewong, CEO of Gella Electrolex, has maintained a policy of expanding the company's quality programs into areas such as health and safety and corporate social responsibility (CSR). It maintains strict standards for the safety of its employees in new and sometimes hazardous worksites, and supports its employees with training in health and safety protocol. It also supports its community through various initiatives, with a strong emphasis in the areas of education and training. Gella Electrolex sponsors education for underprivileged students, helps to train university students studying electrical engineering, and donates to various local charitable causes.

The Putin government has decided to sharply reduce value added tax on all flights operated within Russia. Alongside the granting of financial support for airlines it is another attempt to relieve beleaguered carriers from costs and keep them in the air.
Most Russian airlines are financially not well off, to say the least, some like Utair even at the brink of bankruptcy. They are badly suffering from decreasing passenger numbers, the contracting economy, a sharp decline of the travel market and reduced air freight consignments flown in the holds of most carriers. This rather gloomy situation is the price Russian carriers involuntarily have to pay for their country's international isolation and sanctions imposed by western countries as reaction to the illegal Crimea annexation and Moscow's ongoing military support for the separatists in the Eastern parts of the Ukraine.
In a first reaction to the pressing financial needs of some local carriers, the Kremlin granted subsidies for lending rates as done in the case of UTair, for instance.
However, as Transaero points out, they received a major credit from Russian VTB Bank on general commercial market terms under state guarantees.
Now the second aid package seems to follow since demand for flights keeps on declining on both domestic and international routes, setting the airline's alarm bells ringing. During a meeting with civil aviation officials Vladimir Putin expressed his understanding for the difficult situation of the industry. On this occasion he indicated his full support for the zero VAT proposals asked for by the airlines but noted that the issue still has to be examined by the Ministry of Finance.
During the meeting the idea of granting state subsidies for airlines that would lease Sukhoi produced SuperJet 100, a 100-seat airliner, was also brought up. In case this proposal is approved airlines chartering the poor selling SSJ100 can expect to be granted a 50 percent reduction of their leasing fees, with the government paying the difference to manufacturer Sukhoi.
Although the final decision on this matter is still pending Putin had indicated his support and it can be assumed that there won't be much opposition to the plans. Both measures, the VAT project and the sharply reduced leasing costs for Sukhoi's regional jet, will help supporting both Russian airlines and aircraft producers. The flip side of the coin is that the Kremlin's difficult financial situation, mainly caused by sharply falling commodity prices, enormous military expenditures and the massive ruble devaluation will get even worse.


A Carolina Panthers linebacker took a shot at Jimmy Graham after beating the Seahawks.
The Carolina Panthers delivered an impressive comeback victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and that gave at least one of their players the confidence to chirp afterwards.
Linebacker Thomas Davis had eight tackles and a sack in Carolina's 27-23 win at Seattle and criticized Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham afterwards.
"He's probably one of those guys who is excited about his production and not worried about his team losing," Davis said of Graham after the game, via the Charlotte Observer's Joe Person.
Davis and Graham have history from when they played twice a year when the tight end was in the NFC South as a member of the Saints. Davis said in the week leading up to the game that there wouldn't be any love lost between them. His comments about Graham could be rooted in their past rivalry, or potentially a response to the storylines surrounding Graham, who was said to be ticked off with the Seahawks early in the season.
Graham did lead Seattle with eight catches for 140 yards, but he probably wasn't too happy given the game's outcome.

A bullet that was fired into the Israeli town of Sderot on May 16th, 2018
Palestinian Authority/Gaza, May 16, 2018
Gaza tensions high as Palestinian machine-gun fire hits Sderot for 1st time
Palestinian machine-gun fire from Gaza struck Sderot on Wednesday evening for the first time in the history of the southern city, which has lived under intermittent rocket fire from the Strip for the past 17 years.
Bullets hit about five homes, shocking residents but causing no injuries.
"This is a serious incident," the IDF said, adding that Hamas is responsible for everything that happens in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF responded fairly quickly with tank fire against two observation posts in southern Gaza. No casualties were reported.
Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi said the response was insufficient. He called for a much sharper strike on the Hamas-controlled territory.
"The response for a bullet must be the same as the response for a rocket," Davidi said.
"This is the first time machine-gun fire has hit the city," he said, adding that Sderot cannot enter a new reality where this becomes accepted and commonplace.
"We cannot allow this to happen," Davidi said.
Wednesday's attack on the city was just as serious as when Hamas fires a rocket, builds an attack tunnel under the border or attempts to infiltrate Israel by cutting through the security fence, he said.
"You can't brush it off because no one was hurt," Davidi said. "It was not a good feeling to see the bullets in the walls and the window shutters."
Among those whose home was hit by bullets was former Sderot mayor Eli Moyal, who for many years was the face of the battle the city waged with the government to take Palestinian rocket fire seriously.
"I was at home when I heard a huge boom, and the house shook," he said.
"I thought it was a Kassam rocket," Moyal told Channel 2, adding that then he saw shrapnel in his yard, and he understood that this was not the usual attack.
Another Sderot resident, Sami Moyal, told Army Radio he was home studying Torah for the upcoming Shavuot holiday and sipping coffee when bullet fragments and shrapnel broke a window and hit his garden.
Earlier on Wednesday, shots were fired from Gaza at IDF soldiers. In response, a tank struck a Hamas position in the northern Strip, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. No casualties were reported as a result of the exchange.
Two months ago, a heavy barrage of Palestinian machine-gun fire from Gaza triggered the Iron Dome missile-defense system, but it did not cause any damage in Israel.


This is a commissioned piece, and it still pained me to ruin such wonderful cherry with such a horrible logo.
Even though I despise the Steelers, I do try to do my absolute best on all my scrollwork – I think this turned out pretty nice.
A few years ago I saw a fellow LJ'er use this font on a box I believe and was able to get a copy of it – it was the perfect match for this cutting. The only thing that gets cut is the shading on the font – really interesting cutting!
Overall, the piece is solid cherry with a live top edge. It roughly measures 10×13 and is around 1/4" thick.
I soaked the piece in lemon oil and then wiped a thin coat of a darkened danish oil over the face to pull out the grain in the wood a bit better. Backing is thick felt.
That shadow font is pretty cool. I need to look around for a complete set of letters like that.
Too bad all that work for the Steelers, but hey, I learned something.
I could care less for the Steelers, but nice looking piece, and a great font. What is the name of that font/where to get it?
The font is named "White Bold".
GREAT looking logo on a nice piece of wood. can't beat that combination!
Nice cutting. It was nice of you to be the bigger person even if you didn't like the logo. Ha! Ha!
Some beautiful scroll cutting there bob.

Stimulus Update: What COVID-Era Programs Will Continue in 2022?
NoDerog / Getty Images/iStockphoto
It's been nearly two years since the COVID-19 pandemic swept through the United States, creating economic chaos and leading to a series of federal stimulus programs to help struggling individuals and businesses. Many of those programs have run their course and are no longer available, but a couple remain.
See: Here's How Stimulus Money Changed Everything in 2021
Find: Which Social Security Recipients Will Get an Extra $200 in January?
Among the programs that have gone by the wayside are federal stimulus payments and enhanced Child Tax Credit payments. While there has been recent talk that stimulus payments might be revived because of the Omicron variant, many experts doubt that will happen.
It's also unlikely that another round of enhanced CTC payments — which were last issued on Dec. 15 — will be approved by lawmakers.
Similarly, Americans who received an extra $300 in weekly unemployment benefits during the pandemic won't be seeing that again, Charlotte's WCNC reported. The Labor Department discontinued that program in the fall.
However, there are two COVID-era programs that will continue, at least for a while. One of them is the pause in payments for Americans with federal student loan debt.
On Dec. 22, 2021, the Department of Education extended the student loan payment pause through May 1. It had been set to expire on Jan. 31. According to the department's Federal Student Aid office, the pause includes the following relief measures for eligible loans:
Make Your Money Work for You
A suspension of loan payments
A 0% interest rate
Stopped collections on defaulted loans
Another program that will continue is expanded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Those benefits were due to expire at the end of September, FingerLakes 1 reported. But these 22 states decided to continue paying them every month (check with your state's appropriate agency to find out how long the enhanced benefits will last):

Jordan Latimer Scores Top-10 at Sunset Speedway
On Saturday night at Sunset Speedway, Jordan Latimer led some laps en route to posting a top-10 finish in the pair of Sauble Falls Tent and Trailer Park Late Model features.
Starting 13th in the first 35-lap feature, he would make his way up to 11th by the first caution with 23 laps to go. From there on, he would battle hard, but was unable to make up much ground en route to posting a 12th-place finish.
Starting on the front row for the second feature, he grabbed the early lead ahead of the field, leading the opening six laps before being challenged by eventual feature winner Rick Spencer-Walt. The battle wouldn't go as Latimer wanted, as he'd fall back to third by Lap 13. He continued to battle hard, though, remaining there till he was passed by a pair of cars on Lap 25, bumping him back to fifth.
He would battle with Nick Goetz for the spot, with Goetz getting it a couple laps later and bringing another competitor through to bump Latimer back to seventh with five laps to go. He would get passed for the seventh spot, and battled hard with Ernie Fumerton for the eighth position till the caution flew for an incident ahead of him. Restarting in seventh, he battled hard to the checkered flag, crossing the finish line in seventh.
Jordan Latimer will return to Sunset Speedway on August 26 in hopes of scoring his 11th top-10 of the season.

At Issuer Direct, we are continually developing new ways to engage with your clients. While it's important to be innovative, there are basic practices you can employ to keep your client engagement plan moving forward. Here are three tips you can apply today.
Social media has completely changed the way companies interact with people — not just their clients. The interaction could be with employees, business prospects, or someone who is unfamiliar with the company.
For client engagement through social media, we recommend following what your clients are doing. It doesn't mean always following their page but staying current with what they're posting on their accounts. Stay up to date with the news and content they're releasing. Plus, it's important to convey to them that you're following them.
When you see what your client is doing through a release or the content they're posting on their page, like participation in a company charity day, give them a shout-out on your page. If you're trying to create stronger engagement, always stay informed.
Content can be a great way to draw eyes to your social media, website or personal channels, and gives you another way to connect with your clients.
Writing blogs gives people reasons to come to your channels; not just for the normal sales pitch, but to hear from other industry professionals, your company's views on current topics and more. Source content from your management, long-time sales professionals, or anyone that can create content on industry trends, tips and Q&As.
Voice is another channel to reach your clients. Podcasts can help you reach a new audience that may not be active on social media or doesn't have time to read a blog. Podcast topics can include recapping your blogs or Q&As. Consider involving your clients with content development too. Whether it's an interview or just getting their view industry point view, it shows that you value them as a client and appreciate their insight.
It's ironic, but it's easy to lose track of your client among all the new features or services added to your business. Make sure to stay in touch with a call, an email, even a tweet! If you can inform customers of the new feature of your business, it gives you an upsell opportunity and a way to get them on the phone.
Promotions are another way to stay in touch with clients, even if they're not part of your current partnership.
While you try new, innovative ways to improve client engagement, don't hesitate to go back to basics too.

My daughter Cami, who is almost a teenager, graciously offered to write a guest post for my blog. She's given us a humorous glimpse of life as a middle-school girl . . . and a little advice for the guys.
As an almost-13-year-old, I know all about the dangers of life in middle school. The backstabbing girls, the disgusting bathrooms, and the horrible, horrible smells. Among the worst offenders is that infamous men's deodorant and body spray, Axe.
Oh, Axe . . . No female has passed the door to the boy's locker room in years due to you. Your manly ad campaign has boys everywhere confused, and your misleading packaging is making girls everywhere grieve. Why must you continue with your deception?
I believe the problem with Axe is so widespread, I had to come up with a name for the affliction–Axenomnia: an illness affecting mainly 12- to 19-year-old men, where all sensibilities desert them and they make extremely dumb choices.
The truth of the matter is, girls hate the scent of Axe. It's true. Ladies, do your guyfriends (not boyfriends–friends that are guys) a favor and tell them not to wear Axe. We must remember that boys are not as adept at reading body language as us. We have to help them, take them under our wing, if you will.
Now this paragraph is for boys. Axe actually isn't very macho. It smells like flowers. Please don't wear it. This will not make girls like you. Girls are very looks-oriented, sure. But girls also care a lot about how you treat them and how you act around other people. You could be the hottest guy ever, but if you treat your girlfriend's friends badly, I'm sure she will break up with you like that. I speak to you about all of the girls out there. Treat them nice. No girl deserves to be mistreated. I would not want even the nastiest girls I know to be abused by their boyfriends.
Oh, and for you mothers out there, you remember Brut 33 and Drakkar Noir, right? That's the equivalent of Axe in your middle school. Now do you sympathize with me?
LOL! It was Drakkar, Polo and Obsession. Yuk. To this day, one whiff and my nose curdles and I'm right back in the 8th grade.
Truth! I find the smell of Axe repulsive. When my brother was in jr. high he wore Axe. And there were times when he just needed a shower, but he would put on more Axe. Shudder.
Fortunately I don't think I know what axe smells like, but as soon as I read the words "brut 33" and "drakkar noir" that's all the smell I need. I get it! You have opened my eyes to the invasive problem of the airway pollution in your world. I remember that trapped feeling during certain classes in 8th grade, (and all of a sudden it doesn't seem like that long ago). But you are right, even the worst and strongest smells cannot hide the character of someone who does not know how to treat others. Thanks Cami for your enlightening viewpoint!
"Axenomnia: an illness affecting mainly 12- to 19-year-old men, where all sensibilities desert them and they make extremely dumb choices." Sadly, this is true about many more things than one's choice of body spray, and I see by your definition you have not excluded other possibilities. I recall a young man in one of my college classes; he used to kick off his shoes during class. Oh. my. word. The odiferous offenses were unutterable! This was a night class that was probably at least 2 hours long, and after an already exhausting day, who wants to sit in a room with a guy with bare, awful smelling feet??? (Ain't nobody got time for that!) In retrospect, I can see that it was a severe case of The Axe Complex. Feel free to use it as an example in the OSD.
This made me cry! How funny!! Great job.

Low-budget talk-show host Skip E. Lowe dies at 85
LOS ANGELES — When an earnest but sometimes inept talk-show host took to public-access television in 1978 with a celebrity name-dropping show, it seemed incongruous that Skip E. Lowe would somehow outlast every other TV host from Johnny Carson to Jay Leno.
For one thing, his show aired on the kind of cable channels that carry school board meetings. For another, many of his guests were faded stars people weren't sure were still alive.
But the former child actor, who died Monday at age 85 of complications of emphysema, did just that.
Lowe filmed "Skip E. Lowe Looks at Hollywood" for 36 years, broadcasting it on cable TV outlets in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. He filmed the last one just two weeks ago.
"He loved show business, and the fact that the show was public access, that didn't bother him at all. He was on television," his agent, Alan Eichler, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The result: Lowe assembled a cult following of fans in the cities where his show aired, including some of the entertainers he couldn't get on camera.
Martin Short acknowledged he based his unctuous, often bumbling Jiminy Glick character partly on Lowe, and Harry Shearer profiled Lowe for a 1998 New York Times Magazine story headlined, "Ineptness Has Its Virtues."
As the years passed, Lowe did manage to corral a few big names, even if some had dropped off the Hollywood A List by the time they did the show. Among them: Milton Berle, Marlon Brando, Shelley Winters and Mickey Rooney. Others included 1940s child star Gloria Jean; Sylvester Stallone's mother; Brando's son; and countless character actors.
Not that he always arrived prepared for the interviews. He once asked Kate McGregor-Stewart of the ABC drama "Scandal" to tell him about her show, adding, "I've never seen it."
"Yes, I make mistakes," he once told the Los Angeles Times. "But my audiences like that I'm not so perfect. The thing is, I'm genuinely interested in what my guests are saying."
Born Sammy Labella in Greenville, Mississippi, and raised in Rockford, Illinois, Lowe recalled being badly bullied as a child because of his effeminate manner and penchant for wanting to entertain people. His mother moved him to Hollywood in hopes of getting him in the movies.
He landed several small parts as a child actor before growing up to be a song-and-dance man and master of ceremonies, performing in venues that ranged from nightclubs to strip joints.
He was never paid for his public access show, but made a living in later years booking entertainers at restaurants around LA.
He wrote two memoirs, "The Boy With the Betty Grable Legs," published in 2001, and "Hollywood Gomorrah," published earlier this year.

Across America, confusion reigns in the supermarket aisles about how to eat healthfully. One thing on shopper's minds: the pesticides in fruits and vegetables.
In fact, a recent Consumer Reports survey of 1,050 people found that pesticides are a concern for 85 percent of Americans. So, are these worries justified? And should we all be buying organics—which can cost an average of 49 percent more than standard produce?
Experts at Consumer Reports believe that organic is always the best choice because it is better for your health, the environment, and the people who grow our food. The risk from pesticides on conventional produce varies from very low to very high, depending on the type of produce and on the country where it's grown. The differences can be dramatic. For instance, eating one serving of green beans from the U.S. is 200 times riskier than eating a serving of U.S.-grown broccoli.
If you want to minimize your pesticide exposure, see our risk guide. (Download our full scientific report, "From Crop to Table.") We've placed fruits and vegetables into five risk categories—from very low to very high. In many cases there's a conventional item with a pesticide risk as low as organic. Below, you'll find our experts' answers to the most pressing questions about how pesticides affect health and the environment. Together, this information will help you make the best choices for you and your family.
This tool shows the risk of pesticide exposure from eating 48 fresh conventional fruits and vegetables from 14 different countries. Analyzing 12 years of data from the Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Data Program, Consumer Reports' scientists, in consultation with Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., of Washington State University, placed each produce-country combination into one of five risk categories. Risk assessment included the number of pesticide residues on each food, the frequency with which they were found, and the toxicity of the pesticides. The risk categories correlate with the number of daily servings of that fruit or vegetable.
We also took into account the typical serving size of the food and the weight of the person eating that food. Our analysis is based on the risk to a 3½-year-old child, estimated to weigh 35.2 pounds, because children are especially vulnerable to the dietary risks from pesticides and the EPA is required to consider the effects of pesticides on children. The risks to adults would be lower.
How do you know where your produce is from?
By law, supermarkets are required to tell consumers where the fruits and vegetables they're buying were grown. It's usually not difficult to find the country of origin, but that information is not always in the same place. Here's where to look.
On the box the fruit or vegetable was shipped in.
There's data to show that residues on produce have actually declined since 1996, when Congress passed the Food Quality Protection Act. This law requires that the EPA ensure that levels of pesticides on food are safe for children and infants.
Every year, the Department of Agriculture tests for pesticide residues on a variety of produce. In its latest report, more than half of the samples had residues, with the majority coming in below the EPA tolerance levels. "Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are very safe," says Teresa Thorne, spokesperson for the Alliance for Food and Farming (AFF), an organization that represents conventional and organic produce growers.
But that's not the whole story. Looking at specific produce items, you see that progress has been made for some but not others. Grapes and pears, for example, once would have been in the high-risk or very high-risk categories but now rank low. But others, such as green beans, have been in the higher-risk categories for the past 20 years.
And there's more to consider than just the amount of pesticides on the apple you eat. "Tolerance levels are calculated for individual pesticides, but finding more than one type on fruits and vegetables is the rule—not the exception," says Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D., a toxicologist and executive director of the Food Safety and Sustainability Center.
Our survey found that a third of Americans believe there's a legal limit on the number of different pesticides allowed on food. But that's not the case. Almost a third of the produce the USDA tested had residues from two or more pesticides. "The effects of these mixtures is untested and unknown," Rangan says.
The rest of us may not handle the stuff, but we are exposed through food, water, and air. The fact that pesticide residues are generally below EPA tolerance limits is sometimes used as "proof" that the health risks are minimal. But the research used to set these tolerances is limited.
A recent survey from the Consumer Reports National Research Center of 1,050 Americans found that consumers have some misconceptions about pesticides and organic produce. Here, we separate the facts from the myths.
FACT: Local is a term that is broadly defined. Organic, on the other hand, is a strictly regulated term, so you can trust that you're getting produce grown with minimal if any synthetic pesticides.
FACT: This is true only up to a point. The USDA measures pesticide residues for the edible portion of a fruit or vegetable. That means inedible peels and rinds are removed.
Who may be at greatest risk from pesticide exposure?
Aside from farmworkers, it's children. A child's metabolism is different from an adult's, so toxins can remain longer in a child's body, where they can do more damage. Pesticide exposure can affect children's development at many stages, starting in the womb. "Fetuses, babies, and kids are more vulnerable to the effects of pesticides because their organs and nervous systems are still developing," says Philip Landrigan, M.D., director of the Children's Environmental Health Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. And children's risk is concentrated because they eat more food relative to their body weight than adults.
The health risks to children are significant. Even small amounts of pesticides may alter a child's brain chemistry during critical stages of development. One study of 8- to 15-year-olds found that those with the highest urinary levels of a marker for exposure to a particularly toxic class of pesticides called organophosphates (OPs) had twice the odds of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as those with undetectable levels. Another study found that at age 7, children of California farmworkers born to mothers with the highest levels of OPs in their bodies while they were pregnant had an average IQ 7 points below those whose moms had the lowest levels during pregnancy. That's comparable to the IQ losses children suffer due to low-level lead exposure.
The risk to adults is lower but still worrisome. "Pesticide exposure likely increases the risk, first, of cancerous tumor development, and, second, your body not being able to control a tumor growth," says Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., a research professor at the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University and a consultant to Consumer Reports. In addition, research has linked endocrine disrupters with fertility issues, immune system damage, and neurological problems. "However, unlike cancer, quantifying those effects is difficult at this time," Crupain says.

Does eating organic mean I won't be eating any pesticides?
There are two groups of agricultural pesticides: synthetic and natural. Synthetics are created in labs, and natural ones are substances that occur in nature. The majority of synthetic pesticides (and all of the most toxic ones) used in conventional farming are banned in organic farming, but pesticide drift can mean chemicals sprayed on conventional crops may find their way to nearby organic farms. Still, all of the organic produce in our analysis fell into the very low-risk or low-risk categories.
USDA organic standards allow for the use of certain natural pesticides and very few synthetic ones. "But you can't compare conventional and organic farming in an oranges-to-oranges kind of way," says Michael Sligh, a farmer, founding chairman of the National Organic Standards Board, and Just Foods Program director at Rural Advancement Foundation International.
Can you wash away pesticides?
About half of the people in a recent Consumer Reports survey believe that peeling fruit or vegetables removes or reduces pesticides and 43 percent think you can remove them by washing. And they're right—sort of. Rinsing can remove the surface residues, as well as dirt and bacteria. But you can't completely wash away the pesticides—or the risk. Pesticides can stick to soft skins, and the wax coating used on some produce can trap pesticide residues. And some pesticides are systemic, that is they are taken up by the plant's root system and get into the fruit or vegetable flesh so they can't be washed off. What's more, the USDA measures pesticide residues after produce has been rinsed in cold running water and/or inedible peels and rinds are removed. So the pesticide residues used to calculate our dietary risk guide are those that remain after the fruit or vegetable has been prepped the way you would at home.
Wash your produce—conventional and organic—in running water. You don't need any special washes. Researchers at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station compared rinsing fruit and vegetables in plain water for one minute with washing them with vegetable washes (four different ones) and a solution of dishwashing soap and water. Water alone was as effective as any of the washes or soap. Rubbing produce with soft skins like peaches or using a vegetable brush on harder items like potatoes or carrots will help remove residues, dirt and germs.
Should I skip conventionally grown produce?
No. The risks of pesticides are real, but the myriad health benefits of fruits and vegetables are, too. A 2012 study estimated that increasing fruit and vegetable consumption could prevent 20,000 cancer cases annually, and 10 cases of cancer per year could be attributed to consumption of pesticides from the additional produce. Another study found that people who ate produce at least three times per day had a lower risk of stroke, hypertension, and death from cardiovascular disease.
"We believe that organic is always the best first choice," says Consumer Reports' Rangan. "Not only does eating organic lower your personal exposure to pesticides, but choosing organic you support a sustainable agriculture system." However, your primary goal is to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables—ideally five or more servings a day—even if it's a type that falls into our very high-risk category. If organic produce is too pricey or not available, our analysis shows that you often have a low-risk conventional option.

In the wake of the heated browser wars, Mozilla's browser, Firefox has continued to dwindle as more and more users embrace Google's Chrome, and its worldwide market share dropping to 14 percent according to StatCounter.
The company is hoping to rekindle the interest and influence it once held with the next Firefox update by revamping its core, to speed up complex websites like Facebook, and also make it more difficult for attackers to gain access via the browser.
Foremost, is the implementation of a new component written in the programming language, Rust, invented by Mozilla.
With the initial Rust-build as part of the browser that handles video and audio files, which runs as fast as the C++ component it replaces, but isn't susceptible to memory problems that open security vulnerabilities.
The nonprofit organization plans to gradually replace more of Firefox code with Rust-built components.
The changes is expected to arrive with Firefox 48, albeit, Mozilla plans to rebuild all parts of the Firefox core using Rust through a project called Servo.
Mozilla set to overhaul Firefox to Speed up and ensure more Security
